The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is responding to statements by Armenia regarding the “suspension” of its participation in the organization, APA reports.
This was stated by Mikael Agasandyan, Director of the First Department for CIS Countries at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“We proceed from the fact that Armenia remains a CSTO member with all its rights and obligations. The decision on the form of participation in CSTO activities is up to Armenia itself; nothing is imposed by force,” Agasandyan said.
